- Applicable Provisions & Clauses Statement of Work FBO ANNOUNCEMENT: PRESOLICITATION NOTICE, NOTICE OF INTENT ACTION CODE: SPECIAL NOTICE CLASSIFICATION CODE: N - Installation of Equipment SUBJECT: Purchase of a Turbo Pump with Installation SOLICITATION NUMBER: SB1341-17-RQ-0233 RESPONSE DATE: 10 days after posting DESCRIPTION: The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) intends to negotiate on a sole source basis, under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b) (1), with Thermo Fisher Scientific located at 1400 Northpoint Pkwy Ste 10, West Palm Beach, FL 33407-1976 to purchase a Turbo Pump for a Thermo LC-MS/MS instrument and installation. The sole source justification is based on the following: The Biomolecular Measurement Division of the National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) in Gaithersburg, MD develops measurement methodologies for DNA damage and repair in living organisms with an aim of understanding disease processes. The measurements of these DNA are very sensitive and the detection limits may be as low as femtomole levels. The lab utilizes a Thermo LC-MS/MS instrument to make these measurements. The purpose of this procurement is to purchase a new Turbo Pump manufactured and/or certified by the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and shall also be installed by an OEM factory-certified technician to continue measurements. In addition, the contractor shall also simultaneously install an OEM manufactured or certified Convertor (Freq Converter, Oerlikon, TD400, RoHS), which has already been acquired. Market Research indicates that the turbo pump may be acquired from various sources. However, installation is not included in these estimates as installation must be completed by a sole source, Thermo Fisher Scientific. The Thermo LC-MS/MS instrument was originally acquired from Thermo Fisher Scientific and because of this they are the only company who can install parts to the instrument to continue certification. In conclusion, market research has shown that Thermo Fisher Scientific is the only company that can provide the total requirement to NIST. The resulting purchase order will be a Firm Fixed Price purchase order. The NAICS Code is 333911 with a size standard of 750 employees. No solicitation package will be issued. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, interested parties who regard themselves as capable of fulfilling these requirements are invited to submit responses to the Government for consideration. Responses received by 11:59 pm EST 03/12/2017, will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete the proposed acquisition based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Please direct all inquiries to: Heather.Bauer@nist.gov (Primary) Wendy.Paulo@nist.gov (Secondary) National Institutes of Standards and Technologies (NIST) Acquisition Management Division (AMD) 100 Bureau Dr. Gaithersburg, MD. 20899
